LUXOR 3 takes you on an ethereal journey where your Match-3 skills are used to battle the power-hungry god of Chaos. Stop the procession of approaching spheres as they journey through the maze by matching three or more. Call upon the gods, denoted by color, to release specific power-ups and purchase upgrades with Ankh coins collected during gameplay. Free all the gods from captivity before they reach the pyramid at the end of their path, or all is forever lost.

Always have been a fan of Luxor
Besides this one I've also played Luxor 2. Both games were a blast to play even though I'm not usually attracted to these type of games, I've always loved Luxor. The diffrent type of levels and the number of them could have you playing for hours. I love how they added Bones rounds, A shop for buying different marbles and improving the abilities you get during the game. The setting in Egypt is once again beautiful much like the background in levels. Its a simple yet challenging game that keeps you playing with wonderful graphics.

I enjoyed the game :-)
The Big Fish Games is an excellent game to play in your spare time if you are not working. It's exciting to learn more about adventure.

Best modern graphics Luxor IMO
Pros: variety of gameplay, powerup selection, difficulty selection option
Cons: hard to see details sometimes, useless coins phenomenon
In Luxor 3 a pharoah has passed on to the next world before his pyramid was completed, so in order to have a peaceful afterlife he agrees to be transformed into a winged magical scarab who helps protect the gods from the wrath of Set. Besides the marble popping play that's made all the Luxor games so well known, the adventure mode now has variations such as trying to clear only a special chain at the top of the screen while working around a sea of other chains crossing the screen, popping marbles while watching for towers that randomly appear to force the chains downward faster, and puzzles in which nonmoving marble chains must be cleared using limited shots. Some of the screens feature reflecting paddles which deflect shots 90 degrees when struck to make aiming your shots easier or more interesting depending on the situation.
In between levels you have the opportunity to visit the shop, in which you can purchase upgrades to many of the powerups, most of which will be familiar to long time players of the Luxor series. A nice new one is the pyramid blocker, which not only does what its name says, but explodes a few more balls if it detonates. You can also purchase new looks for your scarab shooter and new marble sets to play with.
This Luxor installment has the nice graphics of Luxor 2 but is less of an eyestrain to play--except on a couple of screens in which the devs missed that it might be hard to visualize the game action in spots with something like flickering flames and smoke in an area. Hint: buy the energy ball set, it'll come in handy later on.
Players can choose from four difficulty levels to play the adventure in, and the higher the difficulty, the more extra powerups (and more colors of balls). Experienced players should not be afraid to play on Hard or Insane and it's worth it to see the action of the bonus sandstorm powerup. If you want a shorter game or something else to do, there are also alternate play modes in which you just play one of the other types of games like the stationary puzzles.
About the only thing that I can find fault with is that eventually you'll run out of things to buy in the shop but you still collect coins for playing, which are useless when there is nothing left to spend them on. There may also be a lag in the pyramid construction scene on older computers as the pyramid gets more completed due to the graphics load. But these are very minor details that won't keep you from being drawn into a beautiful and challenging quest.
